Just that really!

on holiday at the mo and I cant even count the number of times I have seen topless women sunbathing at the beach… next to kids!…on non-nudist beach!

I really don’t want to see titties out in the middle of the day

on top of that I don’t fancy my teenage boys or even my DH having a look at them either

its obvious they’re coming from certain European countries ! Do they have no sense of what’s right or wrong ?

AIBU?

I think topless is preferable to gold nipple covers - some with tassles - that seemed de rigeur with Russian young women when I was in Egypt one year. Worn with the flossiest version of thong bikini bottoms I have ever seen.

Family and I all had a good gawp at those!

Women don't need to have all that flesh to carry milk or breastfeed. Other mammals don't have this and still breast feed. Its a very human thing. We have that large fleshy bit, very prominently displayed on the front of our bodies, to display sexual maturity and attract sexually mature males.

I don't really understand why so many women want to deny this.

🦧 <- they do.

Thanks to the PP who said they couldn't stop singing "I wanna see tits on the beach" to the sound of "I wanna have sex on the beach".

Now I can't get it out of my head either 😂

Oh FUCK!!!

PrincessHoneysuckle · 30/07/2024 14:48

No im not. I. Pointing out facts. Female bodies change for reproduction and males find that attractive. You were insisting that female breasts and hips change so that men find them attractive. That’s the wrong way round.

End of. If you can send me a scientific paper that agrees with your theory that women’s bodies have evolved for men to find them sexy and not for reproductive reasons which men THEN find attractive tennis be happy to read it.

Until that point, you’re reasoning that breasts change so that men find them attractive is, scientifically, incorrect.

Have a nice afternoon, I look forward to reading the paper you source.

Yes this is the fact that I have repeatedly pointed out too. I have repeatedly said that is why men find them attractive. I'm not sure what reasons you have to claim I don't.

Its also true that human breasts have a large amount of flesh that is not needed. For some women, so much that is causes them back pain. That extra flesh has no benefit, its not needed for feeding babies. It does however, act as a very clear signal of sexual maturity. May I introduce you to the concept of a peacock tail. If something works to attract mates, and breasts, as signs of sexual maturity and reproductive potential do attract mates as you have stated yourself, can become exaggerated through evolution.

@Beljin are you the bisexual poster who said on the last debate that you get turned on by seeing firm, supple breasts coming towards you on the beach?

That wasn't me, but happens to be I am bisexual and I probably would get turned on by that.

For those saying they would go on a beach topless, would you do it in front of your teenage son or father? If not, why do you think it’s okay to do it in front of somebody else’s?

For those saying they would take down their pants in front of their doctor and lie on a bed at a cervical exam, would you do it in DFS in front of customers? If not, why do you think it’s okay to do it then????

Let me introduce to this thing. It's called 'context'.

The flesh has evolved from primates breasts that look exactly the same. As do some bat breasts.

Again, come back with your scientific support, I await it with bated breath.

I was recently in a 'certain European country' and lots of women were topless. Yes my teen DSs were probably slightly uncomfortable, but thats because we're British and very repressed when it comes to nudity. Which I told them!

That reminds me of the nachtzones in the Swiss and Austrian hotel spas we've stayed in for skiing. Swimming costumes are banned so you're meant to go naked or, if you must, wear the tiny tea towels they provide. (I'm still of the view that swimwear is more hygienic than your meat and two veg on the seats but I'll defer on that point).

I ended up with three tiers of bollocks in the sauna as my view. Middle tier chaps were all man-spreading and top tier was lying on his back with his legs up in the air but i wasn't the head end. I try to occasionally shrug off my natural British repression but I confess it was tested on those holidays,

Topless woman are not in the same ball park (literally and metaphorically).

Edited

Three tiers of bollocks 🤣🤣🤣

LiterallyOnFire · 30/07/2024 14:53

Actually the evo-psych fans who said tits evolved because men like looking at them might be the nuttiest. Jesus.

It's the strength of the male gaze that exerts a force on breast tissue, pulling it outwards DOH. Then babies just had to evolve to extract nutrition from the body parts the men preferred.

I don't wish to turn this into a country vs city thing. But have you ever seen a cow?

It's the BEACH not the middle of Birmingham New Street or Oxford Circus. Get a grip @TittiesOutPutThemBack 😆

Are you jealous that your husband is looking at them?!

You are being unreasonable. Sexist and racist. They’re tits. Get over it.

Would it bother you if a man was sitting next to you on the bus and masturbating? Or would you be like "it's a penis, just a wank, get over it."

I'm curious where you draw the line at public sexualisation.

RedPoster · 30/07/2024 14:55

Also @Mondaysocial some people have larger ears than others. There is no evolutionary purpose to it, they don’t hear better. Not everything has an evolutionary purpose. Not everything is a peacock tail dear. You’re trying to associate genetic differences with sex. If your reasoning worked, why do lots of women have very small breasts? Why are some quite flat chested? I have tiny tits, did my body not want men to find me attractive?

Seriously, provide the science or accept that it’s not a thing.

Breasts are not the same as a penis FFS! 😂

Kate Moss is an evolutionary hangover. Like the appendix, she has no purpose and that is why no men are attracted to her and she has borne no children.

WhenILookDeepInYourEyesISwearICanSeeYourSoul · 30/07/2024 12:35

Are there any topless men on this beach? Or is it just women you object to?

Why oh why, do some people try to pretend that a man's chest is just the same as a woman's breasts?

WHY?

If all "toplessness" is the same, then I guess you'd be happy for your 14 year old developing daughter to also be topless, in front of all the men on the beach, yes? Absolutely no problem with a few letchy old men looking at her newly forming breasts, yes?

Yeah, I fucking thought not.

Not quite the same thing but appreciate the effort. I’m talking about the beach full stop, not beach vs home. People have been saying breasts aren’t sexual at all, so if they would go topless in front of other fathers / sons at a beach but not their own, why? What’s their reasoning? A real question that I’d genuinely like to know the answer to.

Sunbathing is as sexual to you as wanking? You must REALLY enjoy your holidays.
